asa make up their mind
 

I saw on the ASA page that they are reported to be hiring 16-20 per month. A week ago they were reported to be furloughing. Anyone know what is up? I used to work there as a station agent, now I am a flight instructor looking to go back there when I get my hours up.

I was curious about that too. The latest seems to indicate that they are hiring 16-20/ month until further notice.

They have lost some future deliveries to SKW, but I don't think they are losing airplanes that are already in service so I don't see why they would furlough.

ASA is hiring for a pool
 

I just got a call from ASA yesterday for a 5 minute pre-screen. Sent the resume in a little over a month ago, now they are sending me an application and we scheduled an interview (well, sim ride the first day and if you pass, then the interviews the next day) for July 11th. Spoke with Lisa and she said that they currently don't have any class dates set, but they are hiring to fill their pool. No word on how long the pool is going to last because they don't know when the class dates will start... Looking for any info on this, so if anyone knows, please post or PM me.

Thanks,

I thought I read somewhere that they were retiring their ATR's. If that's true that would explain why they don't have any new hire class dates yet.

I've read the same thing, albeit, I also can not remember where.

Heres the deal... yes atr is getting retired but not for a while, the dat floats but here until 07. The hiring 16-20 is just info that people post on here not actually from the company. Class just cancelled but as one person noted, they are trying to fill the pool which would imply a hiring wave coming. So why all the furlough talk? Because the 90 seater scheduled for asa was given to skywest. one person noted that asa was not losing any existing aircraft to skywest. That is incorrect. there are currently 11 700's in SLC and skywest is going to take those aircraft over as of oct 1. so there is a reduction in fleet. all slc pilots are being moved to atl. yep, that sucks. this is all contract positioning by the company and union, but I can address that in another thread. right now the better place to get on a seniority list is skywest, ASA is stagnant for the time being. I'm extremely senior (312 out of 1,800 pilots) and I've got resume's out everywhere.

What's wrong? Why won't anyone hire you? How long have you been applying?

Christ you're an ******* arnt you? lol

I like your flare, but jeez, a little over the line at times BT.

Can we run Browntail off the regional board and back into cargo where he belongs? If that's what he really does for a living. Every thread seems to get ruined by his stupid little comments.

.. or we can just tell his mommy to revoke his internet account, so maybe he'll finish his homework for a change. :D

I'm sure his goal is to look down on the regional guys and **** all over them. Seems like no one can smile around here without someone eventually urinating all over everyone.

I agree. Got something you feel good about? Want to get rid of that good feeling? Post it here.

just choose to ignore him, I did. I was just trying to help out those of you job searching and won't get dragged into a negative sniping contest. With age comes wisdom.

Agreed. No reason to get a crook in your nose because you don't like what someone else said. Just take it for what YOU think its worth and move on. I get tired of these threads that turn into people whining about someone else's bad attitude. Seems like a lot of these doom-and-gloomers are here just to stir the pot and you guys play right into it.
